This bestselling text provides a practical guide to structural
equation modeling (SEM) using the Amos Graphical approach. Using
clear, everyday language, the text is ideal for those with little
to no exposure to either SEM or Amos. The author reviews SEM
applications based on actual data taken from her own research. Each
chapter "walks" readers through the steps involved (specification,
estimation, evaluation, and post hoc modification) in testing a
variety of SEM models. Accompanying each application is: an
explanation of the issues addressed and a schematic presentation of
hypothesized model structure; Amos input and output with
interpretations; use of the Amos toolbar icons and pull-down menus;
and data upon which the model application was based, together with
updated references pertinent to the SEM model tested. Thoroughly
updated throughout, the new edition features: All new screen shots
featuring Amos Version 23. Descriptions and illustrations of Amos'
new Tables View format which enables the specification of a
structural model in spreadsheet form. Key concepts and/or
techniques that introduce each chapter. Alternative approaches to
model analyses when enabled by Amos thereby allowing users to
determine the method best suited to their data. Provides analysis
of the same model based on continuous and categorical data (Ch. 5)
thereby enabling readers to observe two ways of specifying and
testing the same model as well as compare results. All applications
based on the Amos graphical mode interface accompanied by more "how
to" coverage of graphical techniques unique to Amos. More
explanation of key procedures and analyses that address questions
posed by readers All application data files are available at
www.routledge.com/9781138797031. The two introductory chapters in
Section 1 review the fundamental concepts of SEM methodology and a
general overview of the Amos program. Section 2 provides
single-group analyses applications including two first-order
confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) models, one second-order CFA
model, and one full latent variable model. Section 3 presents
multiple-group analyses applications with two rooted in the
analysis of covariance structures and one in the analysis of mean
and covariance structures. Two models that are increasingly popular
with SEM practitioners, construct validity and testing change over
time using the latent growth curve, are presented in Section 4. The
book concludes with a review of the use of bootstrapping to address
non-normal data and a review of missing (or incomplete) data in
Section 5. An ideal supplement for graduate level courses in
psychology, education, business, and social and health sciences
that cover the fundamentals of SEM with a focus on Amos, this
practical text continues to be a favorite of both researchers and
practitioners. A prerequisite of basic statistics through
regression analysis is recommended but no exposure to either SEM or
Amos is required.
